Recently, a panel of experts convened by FDA voted to recommend enhanced label directions for infants’ and children’s acetaminophen products.  The panel unanimously recommended adding dosing directions for children ages 6 to 23 months to the package label of infant’s acetaminophen products.

The makers of Children’s TYLENOL® requested this label enhancement and are pleased that it was supported by the expert panel. We believe including dosing directions for children ages 6 to 23 months directly on the product label will further assist parents and caregivers in using our products appropriately.

It will take time for the FDA to consider the advice of the panel.  In the meantime, you should continue to contact your doctor for dosing information for children under 2 years of age.  Please contact our consumer call center at 1-877-414-7711 if you have any additional questions about the recent news or our products.

• Read and follow the label directions
  
• Use only the dosing device that comes with the product you are using
  
• Never use more than one product that contains acetaminophen during the same time
  
• Ask a healthcare professional for the dose for your children <2 years
  

Important: Never use adult medicines for children
